Children of the Whales, Vol. 17

クジラの子らは砂上に歌う [Kujira no kora wa sajō ni utau] #17

by Abi Umeda

In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past.

The blight of the tárichos is infecting the people of the Mud Whale with horrifying speed, and the island seems doomed to become a floating graveyard. But visions of the past may have the power to save the future as Chakuro becomes witness to Shaun and Ouni’s private recollections.

4.5🧡

Superbe tome! Les émotions sont décuplées dans ce volume avec des révélations bouleversantes et une intensité toujours maximale. Le sens de l’existence, les conditionnements à la guerre sont encore au cœur des réflexions. Je suis décidément conquise et l’évolution des personnages est magnifique. Terriblement hâte de savoir ce que nous réservera la suite.

As per usual a nice installment in the children of the whales series, even though this one was a bit less emotional and did not develop the story a lot. Still, beautiful artwork and lovely character journey.
